The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that while humans are bound by time, they are also destined for eternity. The speaker suggests that our "Enemy" (presumably referring to a higher power or deity) wants humans to focus on two things: eternity itself and the present moment. The reason being that the present is the juncture where time intersects with eternity. It is in the present moment that humans can experience a taste of freedom and actuality, similar to the way our "Enemy" experiences the entirety of reality. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and cherishing the present as a gateway to eternity.
